Overview

Magnet Defense builds AI-powered unmanned surface vessels for national security missions, including fleet operations, missile defense, and maritime intelligence. Its first platform, the M48, uses edge processing, multi-sensor fusion, and onboard machine learning to recognize threats and pair automated payloads, while an operator remains in the loop. The vessels carry modular, containerized mission payloads for rapid reconfiguration and can operate autonomously in high-risk areas to perform surveillance, electronic warfare, logistics, or anti-submarine tasks. The company differentiates itself by vertically integrating production through the Metal Shark acquisition to enable large-scale manufacturing and fast mission changes, aiming to supply the U.S. and allies with scalable autonomous maritime power and to support programs like the U.S. Golden Fleet.
